I don't think I even qualify for a refund.. LOL I spend a few hours getting the server setup. Using cpjet64 very long steam. He now has a 15 min quick version. Then like 5 mins in game checking that I couldn't access the server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigDally 10 Posted December 26, 2018 The "LAN" option in ARK wasn't a real solution either, as I was unable to transfer myself at obelisks to my other LAN cluster nodes since the obelisk server transfer menu did not have a "LAN" option lol. Fundamentally this is a limitation with the game itself, and how it searches for/locates servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynx 92 Posted December 26, 2018 1 minute ago, mmb said: Atlas server is build in more complex way than ark also giving us more options to create bigger (and more expensive) worlds. Any IT person who like to mess with stuff is more than happy but any regular person need more time to set up own server. Although port forward+DMZ part is as much Atlas as ARK thing (or any other server). There should be mor than enough tutorials how to forward ports. You may also use same ports as in ARK if you already hosted server locally. For Ark I only run LAN. For Atlas the map tool and even using .bat files to run the server isn't that difficult. It's just the networking stuff i really lack knowledge on. I will research more when I get home from work. Any tutorial links would be appreciated.

I had that same issue in Ark, but I just switch on my VPN to transfer to a different cluster and then turned off the VPN when the transfer was complete. With Atlas, I use my VPN and still can't access my own Atlas server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teach 79 Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) FOR LAN SERVER I run my local server on 127.0.0.1: start X:\AtlasDed\AtlasPreppedServer\ATLAS\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGameServer.exe Ocean?ServerX=0?ServerY=0?AltSaveDirectoryName=00?ServerAdminPassword=123?MaxPlayers=125?ReservedPlayerSlots=25?QueryPort=57561?Port=5761?SeamlessIP=127.0.0.1 -log -server -NoBattlEye exit I did forward ports on my external IP to my internal IP (192.*.*.*) When looking for your "Server Name", you have to put this in the Map File. (Project > Edit in the servergrideditor) In my case, I name my Server "Nassau" with password "changemeplz" When you go to Unofficial server list after server has come up, check "Show password protected servers" under unofficial. You should see your server, but no one else will. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONNECT FROM STEAM "SERVERS" LIST - YOU WILL FAIL WITH AN INVITE QUERY! Note: Each map grid requires about 2 cores and 4GB-5GB RAM to operate Edited December 26, 2018 by Teach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teach 79 Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) 5 minutes ago, Lynx said: So how do you connect? And what exactly does this mean? You connect from in-game server list, not from external STEAM client (as some people were attempting to DIRECT connect via IP which you can't do. The game needs to see the steam network to an extent) It means you go into your router, forward the correct ports to the computer running the server (Most routers default to 192.168.*.* IP addresses): Forward the ports below for UDP and TCP QUERY PORT GAME PORT SEAMLESS PORT RCON 57561-57594 5761-5794 27000-27008 28000-28008 If you are only play SINGLE-PLAYER on your server, you only need to route single ports and not the range (57561, 5761, 27000, 28000) Edited December 26, 2018 by Teach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fervid 3 Posted December 26, 2018 Teach, we are not running our servers on the same computer we are playing on. We're running them on separate dedicated computers within the LAN. Your suggestion doesn't work/apply to us. Thanks though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since there is no LAN support in the Altas client (and no LAN tab) we do not see our servers in the server list. Which is why we have to connect using steam connect.

Even in a LAN situation, the server MUST negotiate with steam for you to be able to conntect. You will see your LAN server in the standard Unofficial server list INSIDE the game.

Lynx 92 Posted December 26, 2018 I did the port forwarding on my router to single ports, since I am just testing a 1x1 grid. I tried both my LAN IP and my external IP (placed in both the map editor to create the .jsons and the server launch .bat file) The server appears to start in the command prompt, but I never see it in the server list in game.

Cheers. You EU really need to be less dismissive... WHAT IP IS MY SERVER BOUND TO IN THIS SCREENSHOT?! MY SERVER NAME IS NASSAU WITH A PASSWORD WHAT IS THIS IN MY SERVER LIST (FIRST SERVER) Maybe its NOT my instructions, but your inability to EXECUTE them.

Lynx 92 Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) The problem for me boiled down to my isp. I use a hotspot. So the current networking setup for Atlas servers will not work for me.
